Unit 1 Focus Questions:

1)Apply the steps of the inductive reasoning process to a real-life situation.

2)Describe a situation where using the vertex to name an angle would not be acceptable.

3)How would you decide which set of numbers on a protractor to use when measuring an angle?

4)What characteristics make a good definition and how can you test your definition?

5)Describe two possible methods to organize information. When would each of these be useful?
